Air is supporting Linear Financial Solutions, part of the Primis Mortgage Network, as it launches into the equity release market.

Linear will offer an equity release referral desk to support more brokers with this specialist area of advice.

As part of the launch, Air is supporting Linear with training for its equity release advisers.

Air chief executive Will Hale says: “Linear’s commitment to the highest standards of service and good customer outcomes makes them an ideal referral partner for firms across the Primis Network.”

“A growing number of mortgage advisers recognise the need to consider all later life lending options for all customers over the age of 55. We will support Linear as they grow their business and provide advisers with opportunities for growth too, in what is an expanding later life lending market.”

Linear Financial Solutions director Matt Surridge adds: “Offering customers choice is a priority for our business. We are seeing strong demand from older borrowers to consider all their options when remortgaging and Air’s support has been crucial for us in developing our equity release referral desk, as we relaunch into a market which requires specialist advice.”
